Meta post I’ve decided to make. I enjoyed the unixporn subreddit a lot when I used reddit more. I enjoy customizing my linux de as much as the next nerd.
But you definitely shouldn’t use racist slang to refer to the process.
To be clear, I didn’t know the origin of the term ‘ricing’ until fairly recently. I was chattimg with my friend and used it to describe my de setup. They informed me that apparently it’s from car customization, and is a pejorative against generally asian men who customize their car to look like a racecar.
After learning this I was sad to realize just how engrained it is in linux de customization culture. I personally have stopped using the term, and I would ask everyone here stop as well.
“Polished,” “tweaked,” or if we want to reclaim a term from the crafters, “bedazzled.”
No, it has to work as a adjective, verb and a noun. (Check out my rice, Look how riced my setup looks, How do I rice my Linux Mint Cinnamon desktop the same way as this other rice?, etc)
mod
all 3 of the suggestions work as all those parts of speech (“how do I bedazzle my desktop”, “check out my bedazzle”).
If English is your second language then fair enough, otherwise wow what a skill issue
